Cisco 1310

Greetings...
I am trying to setup two Cisco 1310 bridges (AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R) for connectivity between two buildings. No external antennas have been setup yet and I am just setting the basic configuration.
One is running c1310-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEA3, the other c1310-k9w7-mx.123-7.JA1…
I have one setup as a root-bridge, the other as a non-root bridge.
However, even after disabling authentication and encryption, both units are still not talking to each other. Arghhh....
Maybe a second set of eyes can see an issue? Thanks in advance.

Joe:
The no response in the logs mean that the non-root bridge did not reply to the root at all.
Try to remove "distance 1" command as well. this 1 means 1 Km. it should not have big effect anyway but remove it if you are not using the bridges with 1+ Km distance.
try to use Dot11radio1 (802.11a) to test bridging if it works or not.
Also, you can try exchange the roles (root, non root) between two devices and check further.
successful assocaition should be seen by the command:
show dot11 associations.
I hope that after you get both bridges on same version they will sucessfully assocaited.
Good luck.

Firmware crash on cisco 1310 Bridge while upgrade to higher version

Dear experts,
My cisco 1310 Bridge old firmware C1310-K9W7-tar.123-8.jea3 is crash while i try to upgarade to the higher version C1310.K9W7-tar.124.10b.jda2 via HTTP service upgrade, any advise to get back the firmware.
rgds,
woo.

It appears that you are assigning IP address properly. For some reason we are not getting a response from TFTP server. This is typically one of 2 things:
1. Firewall on the TFTP server workstation
2. Connectivity issue between AP and TFTP server
I would check firewall settings on the TFTP workstation. Are you connecting the AP to the workstation directly or through a switch? If it is through a switch, you could plugin a different workstation to the AP switchport to make sure it could reach the server as well.

Cisco 1310 point to point encryption?

Howdy.
We have two Cisco 1310 devices working currently in point to point mode. I have a couple of questions regards this..
1. What is the best method to encrypt the point to point links between the two? We would like to use local passwords for this.
2. We have two point to point links on each device. Would we be able to configure one link for encryption without dropping our connection to that device and then configure the second one?
3. Is there any sample guide for point to point encryption?
Many thanks..
Taff.

1. What is the best method to encrypt the point to point links between the two? We would like to use local passwords for this.
ANS - We can use Ciphers TKIP as the encryption and WPA-PSK as the authentication.
2. We have two point to point links on each device. Would we be able to configure one link for encryption without dropping our connection to that device and then configure the second one?
ANS - I request you to brief me out on "we have 2 P2P on each device" does this mean we have 2 SSID configured??
3. Is there any sample guide for point to point encryption?

Cisco 1310 Access Point Rommon Mode

Hello,
So I have a Cisco 1310 Access Point that is in Rommon mode. I have the image on the Access point but I did not use the archive download command to extract it. When I use the
tar -xtract flash://c1310-k9w7-tar[1].124-25d.JA2.tar flash:
command It gets close to the end but doesnt finish saying there isnt enough space. When I try to delete the file using delete flash://
c1310-k9w7-tar[1].124-25d.JA2 it wont allow me saying I do not have permission. I tried the rmdir command as well but had no luck. It wont allow me to use the tags /f /r for forceful and recursive, it doesnt recognize them. Anyone know how to delete a directory in rommon mode on an the 1310 access point?
Thanks

The delete /recursive /force flash:/ is what I use. You might try to delete these files also:
ap:delete flash:private-configap:delete flash:private-multiple-fs
Thanks,
Scott

Once it is deassossiated, ihave to manually restart the bridges. How can avoid manual restarting so it would automatically associate after some time.
Also time is getting changed after restarting. Please help me to solve this problems.
Regards,
naisam

Hi,
Following are the answers for your questions.
How often does this happen ?
This is happnenig two or three times in a day and mostly at eavening when the data traffic is high.
What is the distance between the bridges and RSSI ?
Distance is near to 600 mtr and RSSI is continously keep on changing between -51 dBM to -75dBM
Did this ever work without this issue or is this a new install ?
This installed one year before as a back up to my fiber link. This problem started recently only.
Thanks,
Naisam

Cisco 1310 Roam Settings

I am trying to optimize my roam settings on a Cisco 1310 operating in WGB mode. The WGB will roam around and connect to various 1310s configured in LAP mode.
There are some optional settings that can be set including changing the beacon retries, data retries and also the RSSI level to force the WGB to roam if the RSSI reaches a certain level.
Does anyone know of any issues with these settings? For instance, I run my network at 9Mbps and want to force a roam when the RSSI reaches -77dB or worse.
Is it better to force this parameter or to just use default Cisco settings?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Cisco does detail the changes you can make but they don't go into much detail about the reasons for making changes to these options.
James

It depends a lot on the moving speed of the device. We've seen 10km/h WGBs and 80km/h WGBs mounted on trains.
It also depends on the coverage density. I never saw 2 situations where the same settings would work. It's more like a "try and see if it gives good results".

Cisco 1310 used as Bridge: Option for integration to WLC or WCS

What is the best management option for the Cisco 1310 being used as an Autonomous Bridge (pairs: Root and Non-Root). We want to manage and have some reporting back into the WCS.

WCS 6.0 configuration guide says that only AP1130, 1200, 1240, 1310
Bridge are supported.
The autonomous to lightweight migration support feature provides a
common application (WCS) from
which you can perform basic monitoring of autonomous access points along
with current lightweight
access points. The following autonomous access points are supported:
* Cisco Aironet 1130 Access Point
* Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point
* Cisco Aironet 1240 Access Point
* Cisco Aironet 1310 Bridge

Cisco 1310 problem

First, i want to apologize for my English.
I have a wireless network, which connects areas isolated by the sea.
One of the repeaters have connection problems.
There is a picture that illustrates my problem.
The repeater in red, was installed recently. Because of the distances are added to each output TNC an amplifier of 1 watt.
The problem arises when the bridge that connects to the repeater, it begins to traffic on the network.
The repeater is disconnected, leaving the bridge and repeater offline.
We believe that the problem is caused by the fact that this link is at 12 meters above sea level. And we think that we could solve that problem by adding two amplifiers to the Master AP.
Any suggestion.

You did not include the config files for the 1310's, did you set the distsnce prameter for the radio on the root bridge. for longer distances the AP needs to adjust the time out values.

Hope this helps.

Cisco 1310 Roam Reason (Debug Output Possible?)

I have some 1310s. One is in WGB mode. It roams between the other Access Points that are in LAP mode.
What I need to know is if there is a way to debug WHY the WGB roams. Is there a debug that I can apply that will output the reason for the roam? Usually it would be due to signal level change but there are other reasons as well.
Hopefully this is an easy one. I keep alternating between associated access points and I can't figure out why.
I have figured out that I can put the bridge in Install Mode to get an output of the RSSI level of the associated AP, but this does not tell my WHY the roam took place.
Thanks!
James

Hi James,
Here is the show command which will tel us about the roam history.. But not a debugging output though..
show client roam-history
>> As such there is no debug that give us just the Roam details.. Debug client will provide very good info..
>> I think we can manually set the channel on that LWAPP to something so that the WGB will associate to that.. or if the TX power iscausing the issue, then playing around with the TX power on the LWAPP may help us.

Transmist power bridge Cisco 1310

Hi,
I have a problem with the transmit power on a bridge. I can't put more than 5Mw, there no other option in http interface also on CLI when i try this command "power local cck 20" i have an errors it can't accept 20 but just 5. IOS version is 12,3(4). on the other bridge i can put more power transmit.
Thanks,

It appears that you are assigning IP address properly. For some reason we are not getting a response from TFTP server. This is typically one of 2 things:
1. Firewall on the TFTP server workstation
2. Connectivity issue between AP and TFTP server
I would check firewall settings on the TFTP workstation. Are you connecting the AP to the workstation directly or through a switch? If it is through a switch, you could plugin a different workstation to the AP switchport to make sure it could reach the server as well.

Cisco Outdoor 1310

We have recently purchased a Cisco 1310 outdoor device.
I have a couple of questions you may help me with please.
We have configured the device to act as an Access Point to provide VOIP (7920), however the range is not very good to provide recommended RSS.
1. What is the typical range of a 1310 acting as an AP?
2. Would it be better to assign this device bridging, backhauled onto a 1200 series AP?
3. Does anyone have some clear documentation explaining the configuration?
Many thanks in advance.

The flexibility of the device allows it to operate as an access point, wireless bridge, or workgroup bridge.Range as such cant be measured.But can be measured in relation to other access points and the data rate supported.For example For example, the range for a Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge in a point-to-point link is 8.5 miles at a data rate of 54 Mbps, versus 1.5 miles at 54 Mbps for the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series (typical range with integrated antennas).Refer URL

Aironet 1310 to dot11 Bridge?

Is there a way to create a bridge between a Linksys WAP54GPE and a Cisco 1310?
Linksys states Bridge and Repeater are only available with other Lonksys products. But the Aironet 1310 offers the universal workgroup bridge mode. Does this work?
As well i am looking for a WiFi network monitor (show available networks and signal ratio) for the 1310.
Thank you for your suggestions!
Bert

That is the major difference between home equipment and Enterprise equipment. Even the the ap's Cisco sells allows you to configure the device in different modes. If you are looking at Linksys products, then you have to buy a device specific to your needs.

1310 Bridge-Building to Building advice.

I am looking at implementing building to building wireless using Cisco 1310 bridges. This would be a backup link between the 2 buildings. The primary link is 3 T-1's. There are about 250 users connecting back here for application and internet. I am assuming that since the speed over the wireless is more than the existing T-1's that there shouldn't be a problem with latency. Am I missing anything with my thinking?
Thanks

Hey there,
If you use a BR1310 to cover 3 T1s you should be fine.
The BR1310 can get up to 54mbs (28mbs in reality due the the nature of half duplex devices such as these bridges).So even with less than ideal signal quality and strength you should have no problem getting that kind of throughput.Ideal links get in the low to mid 20s.
Hope this helps.

Aaron

EAP and AES CCM on 1310 AP/Bridges

I have a pair of Cisco 1310 AP/Bridges. I am attempting to use them only in bridge mode. I can get them configured using open/wep/wpa shared keys, but when I attempt to configure them using AES CCM and Network EAP I can not get them to talk to each other. The Root Bridge which is setup as the Radius with a dedicated user for the Non-Root gives the error of "NAS shared key mismatch with XX.XX.XX.XX" and the Non-Root Bridge gives the error Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate EAP authenticating" I have checked the Radius shared key on the Root and also ensured that the username and password on the non-root match. I can't find much on this on the interwebz. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ben,
can you post the configs of the root and non-root bridges?
the key mismatch error means the key you entered in the local-radius config, and the ip radius-server lines do not match. When you enter these you want to use 'key 0' not 'key 7'. the AP will encrypt the key after you enter it.
